Betting odds: Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs

Betting market

When the Chiefs opened at -4 they were the choice of early bettors. From Sunday night to Monday morning, they moved from -4 to -6 and at one point had more than 60% of bets.

Since then, it’s been all Colts. They now command 57% of bets and nearly 70% of the money, which has helped drive the line back down to +5 as of Thursday (check out the live odds here).

The over was also a popular choice early on. After opening at 55.5, it had moved to 57 by Tuesday morning behind about 70% of bets and 80% of dollars. It has remained at 57, but more support has come in on the under to push those percentages down to about 65% and 60%, respectively. — Mark Gallant

Weather report

Initially, snow in New England was expected to be this weekend’s weather storyline. The forecast in Foxboro is dry now, but Kansas City is trending in the opposite direction.

Snow in the morning will simmer down by gametime, but snow (maybe even rain), squalls and showers will be in the area for the rest of the day.

Snow is probably the ficklest of things to predict so I would check to see the latest forecast on Saturday morning. — Gallant

Trends to know

Since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the Chiefs are 4-16 straight up and 3-17 against the spread in the playoffs, including 0-9 against the spread at home. — Evan Abrams
